About Us

We’re Apogee, an independent west coast bike company

Mission

Apogee is a west coast mountain bike brand dedicated to meticulous design and construction of unique metal mountain bikes with an anchored-to-the-trail feel.

Our full suspension trail bike, the Apogee One is made in the USA, features our innovative Free-Float Module (FFM) suspension, and DuoFrame frame design for a ride that’s smooth as you can get without paving the trail.

We blend our passion with humble hard work to express how a bike could be built and change the way people think about modern mountain bikes.

Vision

We founded Apogee Bikes as a creative outlet for designs and ideas to preserve the spirit of innnovation.

We saw an opportunity to create handmade full suspension mountain bikes, not limited by antiquated construction techniques, so we committed to developing a one-of-a-kind suspension platform and riding experience.

By combining innovative engineering with our dedication to the ride experience, our bikes are tailored and tested to match riders needs with the utmost care and precision.


As we grow our brand and company, we remain dedicated to providing the best experience for our customers, creating a beneficial working environment for our employees, and giving back to our local cycling communities.
